| 1 | Happy the man who went not in the counsel of the unjust, and he stood not in the way of the sinful, and sat not in the seat of those scoffing. | Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; | Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, | |
| 2 | But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and in his law he will meditate day and night. | but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. | but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. | |
| 3 | And he was as a tree planted by the streams of water which will give its fruit in its time; his leaf shall not fall away, and all which he shall do shall be prospered. | He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. | That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. | |
| 4 | Not so the unjust: but as the chaff which the wind shall drive away. | The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. | Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. | |
| 5 | For this, the unjust shall not rise up in judgment, and the sinful in the assembly of the just. | Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; | Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. | |
| 6 | For Jehovah shall know the way of the just: but the way of the unjust shall perish. | for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. | For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. | |
